By The Wayne Madsen ReportMost
attorneys would jump at the chance to represent the President of the
United States, either as White House counsel or privately. To do so can
elevate a lawyer to the upper ranks of a handful of attorneys who can
name their own rates and choose their own clients. However, in the case
of Donald Trump, a combination of his own disagreeable personality,
failure to pay his his attorneys' fees, perverted sexual history, and
conflicts of interest have turned him into a pariah as a client for most
lawyers.

In the latest bizarre decision of Trump, he approved the hiring of a Disney teen dance show star named Caroline
Sunshine [pictured, left] to be a press assistant at the White House.
Sunshine is a 22-year old blond whose only political experience has been
as a member of her high school’s model United Nations team, an intern
for House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and a college activist for the
neo-conservative American Enterprise Institute. It is not Sunshine’s
shallow experience in politics that has Washington talking about Trump’s
latest move, but her resemblance to first daughter
Ivanka Trump. [pictured, right] If Trump thought replacing Stormy on
the front pages with Sunshine might clear up the foul political weather
in Washington, he was sorely mistaken.On more
than one occasion, Trump has revealed to individuals and entire radio
and television audiences an incestuous sexual attraction to his
daughter. Columnist Richard Cohen wrote in a Washington Post column in
2016 that when Ivanka was 13-years old, Trump asked someone that Cohen
knows, “Is it wrong to be more sexually attracted to your own daughter
than your wife?" That part was later edited out of Cohen’s column by
Post management. When Ivanka was hosting the 1997 Miss Teen USA pageant,
Trump turned to the reigning Miss Universe, Brook Antoinette Mahealani
Lee, and asked, “Don’t you think my daughter’s hot? She’s hot, right?” In 2003,
Trump said the following on the air about Ivanka to radio shock jock
Howard Stern, “she's got the best body.” In 2004, Trump was back on
Stern’s show, saying that his daughter was, “A piece of ass." Appearing
on ABC’s The View in 2006, Trump, answering a question about whether he
would approve of his daughter posing for Playboy, responded, “I've said
if Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her." In an
appearance on the Dr. Oz show in 2016, Trump was heard by studio
personnel stating he kisses Ivanka “with every chance [he] gets.” Just
as with Richard Cohen’s column for The Washington Post, this statement
was edited out.

Trump’s
incestuous attraction to his daughter did not stop with these very
public statements. During their 2006 tryst in a Lake Tahoe hotel suite,
Trump, who was married to Melania at the time, told then-27-year old
porn actress Stormy Daniels, aka Stephanie Clifford, “Wow, you — you
are special. You remind me of my daughter.” That same year, during a
10-month affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal, Trump constantly told
her that she was like his daughter Ivanka. According
to Michael Wolff’s book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,”
White House staffers were puzzled over Trump’s relationships with both
Ivanka and departed White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, a
former model. Wolff wrote that the staffers referred to Ivanka as the
president’s “real wife” and Hicks as the president's “real daughter.”
There are reports that Mr. Trump was intensely jealous when he
discovered that his former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski and former
White House personal assistant Rob Porter were dating Hicks. Perhaps
Trump’s “real daughter” reminded him too much of his “real wife.”

We’ll
have to wait until next year for Dr. Justin Frank’s book, “Trump on the
Couch,” the third in a series of books by the Clinical Professor of
Psychiatry at the George Washington University Medical Center on his
psychoanalysis of recent presidents. But, based on Trump’s history of
comments about his daughter, it is safe to assume that he has an
unnatural and quite incestuous sexual attraction to her. And all
of this puts into context a story related to WMR by a source in New York
familiar with the case. In 1997, the same year Trump asked Miss
Universe if she thought 15-year old Ivanka was “hot,” five waiters working
at Trumps Grill, the steakhouse located in the Trump Tower on Fifth
Avenue in Manhattan, allegedly witnessed Trump sexually groping Ivanka
under the table. “His hand was up his daughter’s skirt,” was the comment
of one witness. As employees of Trumps Grill and, given the Mafia-like
conditions working for the Trump Organization, the waiters were afraid
to say anything at the time.

This
incident, combined with all the comments made by Trump about his
daughter, as well as his and his friend Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged 1994
rape of 13-year old Katie Johnson and 12-year old Maria -- the latter
abducted from a street in Waterbury, Connecticut the year before -- have
made Trump the “client from hell” for most attorneys. Trump’s current
defense team consists of a Mafia-like personal attorney, Michael Cohen;
White House counsel Don McGahn, who is reportedly eager to leave his
post; McGahn’s colleague, Ty Cobb, who also reportedly wants out;
right-wing constitutional lawyer Jay Sekulow; and Trump’s newest
addition, Dr. Andrew Ekonomou, the assistant district attorney of
Brunswick, Georgia, who also has a doctorate in medieval history.
Ekonomou replaced Washington insider John Dowd, who was fired by Trump.

Perhaps
it was wise for Trump to bring Ekonomou, an expert on ancient history,
onto his legal team. Surely, Ekonomou is familiar with the incest
practiced by the Roman Emperor Caligula and the mythological incestuous
relationship between the sibling Greek gods Hera and Zeus, which
produced many children. While state laws on incest vary, every state
criminalizes sex between an adult and a minor, whether or not the minor
is an offspring. However, every major religion considers incest to be an
abominable sin. It is the sleaziness that surrounds Trump that has made
him toxic to most attorneys in Washington.
